My Project

As a 10th-grade English teacher in a state-tested subject, technology is not just helpful--it's essential. A new desktop computer will dramatically improve the preparation of lessons, assess student growth, and provide timely feedback. With a reliable, updated system, I can better analyze student data, design engaging, standards-based content, and support differentiated learning for all my students.

A new desktop will allow me to spend less time troubleshooting and more time focused on what matters most: my students' learning and success on high -stakes assessments.

Currently, I'm working with outdated technology that struggles to keep up with modern platforms and slows down tasks that should be efficient, like grading essays and more time focused on what matters most: my students' learning and success on high-stakes assessments.

This investment in classroom technology will benefit around 75 students each year, helping them grow as readers, writers, and critical thinkers. Thank you for considering a donation to help build a stronger foundation for student achievement.
